2017 Map of Burgdorf Summit

About this map

Burgdorf Summit and the high mountain passes of Idaho County are meticulously documented in this 2017 survey of the Payette National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a dense network of watercourses, including the South Fork Salmon River which cuts through the northeastern corner. The map traces the winding paths of Natl Forest Develop Road 355 Rd and the combined corridor of Raines Creek/Slaughter Gulch, illustrating the vital access routes through this timber-rich region. Local landmarks like Faust Meadows and Horse Heaven stand alongside numerous saddles and points, such as Sleepy Saddle and Nelson Point. These features indicate a terrain heavily used for forest management and back-country recreation. Historical survey markers and section lines (T23N R7E) overlay the natural drainages of Smith Cr and Raines Cr, providing a clear grid for locating specific land parcels and topographical high points like Smith Knob.
